I noticed on one of the videos (the video of using the NT Manuscript Interactive) that the trainer typed Look Up Minuscules in the command box and it searched his top dictionaries. What do I need to do get that command box to link the searches to top dictionaries? Thanks!

    I don't see that in the video https://www.logos.com/logos-pro/new-testament-manuscript-explorer - can you verify which video you are referring to?

    Look up is just designed to open the top resource with a matching headword, not a set of resources.

    the trainer typed Look Up Minuscules in the command box and it searched his top dictionaries.

    Lookup or Look up is a command to find a reference (e.g. Jn 3:16) or a headword (e.g. minuscules) in your top resource that provides a definition/article i.e. in a bible or dictionary/encyclopedia. But it will also provide a Search.

    I don't know where "top dictionaries" comes from, but as you can see the Search is for look up minuscules rather than minuscules (that may be a bug).

    Not a bug. The "Search" items don't make the assumption that when you type "look up saints" that you are trying to search for "saints". It assumes you might be trying to search for "look up saints".

    It assumes you might be trying to search for "look up saints".

    As the command lookup is recognised it seems more logical to Search for the word/reference  e.g. lookup  Jn 3:16  ---> "Go to John 3:16" and "Search for Jn 3:16".
